I thought it was fascinating how the dye markers "unwound"
back to their original spots.

Gotta admit, I didn't expect that at first.

I still don't fully understand it, but it is certainly fascinating.

This being the internet, I didn't entirely believe it.

It's a simple and inexpensive enough demonstration to duplicate if you have
any interest, and it certainly helps to demonstrate why laminar flow causes
less drag--mixing does not provide any usable lift.
